Bosphorus Restaurant Review
BOSPORUS RESTAURANT, JBR, DUBAI
Whether you are going for breakfast lunch or dinner, a trip to eat at iconic Turkish restaurant Bosporus in Dubai’s JBR, will give you memorable moments of an amazing food adventure. By Kay Marham
One of the truest sentiments about food is the famous quote: “The people who give you their food give you their heart.” And I can’t think of a finer example than Bosporus. I won’t spill all their secrets here, but the unexpected theatre and drama with which the dishes are served - particularly the desserts - is an experience that everyone will remember for years to come.
Iconic Turkish restaurant, Bosporus in JBR, is one of the best examples of a restaurant that not only delivers on fresh, delicious, expertly-prepared dishes, but also really goes the extra mile to transport you to the country of their cuisine. But Bosporus also delivers so much more of a special experience too! If you enjoy going for a meal that provides utterly delicious food, a stylish adventure for the tastebuds, stunning presentation and perfection in service, then Bosphorus really needs to be on your list when you want a
truly memorable family meal out, or a guaranteed feel-good couple’s date night.
APPETISER RECOMMENDATION
The choice of appetisers is so dizzying it’s hard to choose! I recommend that you start with the Mixed Appetisers Platter - a colourful, visual feast of seven little dishes that look…frankly amazing, and taste even more delicious than they appear. You’ll experience enticing colours, textures, freshness and flavours that instantly set the scene for the special meal to come. It’s the kind of dish that you want to share on Instagram, as well as share with each other! The appetisers are served with authentic Turkish bread that is so fresh from the oven it is puffed up into a hot football shape and is the perfect way to ease yourself into a relaxed adventure with the world of Turkish cuisine.
Turkish cuisine itself is a balance between the best of Mediterranean and Arabic cuisines, resulting in a fragrant and flavourful world of foods and ingredients that suit all tastes. But if you enjoy exceptional food on your evening out, you can opt for any of the main courses and be assured of exquisite presentation and taste, regardless of whether you go for the grilled meats, seafood, burgers, wraps or even sandwiches. This means you can make your evening one of either a hearty celebratory meal together, or more casual food (which is also child-friendly), and still enjoy a fine dining experience, regardless of which you choose.
Whatever you do, make sure you save room for dessert - even if you end up taking it home rather than finishing it at Bosporus! My recommendations are the Künefe Cheesecake and the Baklava with Ice Cream. Order both, share them and take home whatever you can’t finish, to re-live the experience the next day!
The Künefe Cheesecake is not only a brilliantly successful modern take on the Middle Eastern classic dessert, but the addition of the creamy cheesecake element with the crunchy fine phyllo elevates this to something extremely special. The Turkish Baklava at Bosporus is made with handmade phyllo pastry, sweet syrup, vibrant, fresh green pistachios and is served with a Turkish ice cream that is not too sweet and therefore balances this dish beautifully.
THE GOLD MENU
If you are really in the mood to celebrate something special, check out the special ‘Gold Menu’ of main course steak, burger, dessert and even the cappuccino that are all covered in gold leaf for a truly memorable dining experience!
The food and experience at Bosporus is only possible when real heart, passion, pride and love - all the ingredients that make for wonderful family celebration, a date night treat to remember and a great way to introduce your children to the excitement of fresh foods, elevated into enjoyable, healthy dishes that will keep you coming back for more!
